Alexander's Conquership

Alexander the Great's Achaemenid Empire began with a major battle on the coast of Cappadocia between his travels from Pelia in the Macedonian Kingdom and Sardis in Cappadocia. Cappadocia was the first major area that became apart of the Achaemenid Empire, and held the next two major battles between Tarsus and Tyre and between Jerusalem and Arbela. It was between these battles that Alexander's Conquership led him to the coast of the now African continent, where he conquered areas of Egypt, leading to the very first city named after himself. It was renamed or built on the coast between what is now the Middle East and the African Continent, between 333BC and 331BC. This shows the progress he made in only around four years conquering the entirety of Cappadocia and the coastal area of Africa from his first major battle in approximately 334BC to the next major battle in 331BC.
